Hedin Automotive completes the acquisition of SeeAll Group's two BMW dealerships in Switzerland
Hedin signed the acquisition agreement with the Swiss SeeAll group in Zurich in January. The company now closes the deal and assumes operation of the two dealerships.
SeeAll Group´s two BMW dealerships, Allmend Garage and Seeblick Garage, are Hedin´s first in Switzerland. The acquisition is in line with the company's strong ambitions for growth and builds on the existing, strong alliance with BMW in Norway and Sweden. The Swiss dealerships turned over approx. 100 million Swiss francs in 2019. The acquisition expands Hedin's total representation to 123 dealerships across four countries.
Managed from Norway
SeeAll Group is now part of the newly established Swiss subsidiary of Anders Hedin Invest AB, Hedin Automotive AG. The company is folded into Hedin´s BMW division, Hedin Automotive in Norway. With its 17 locations throughout Norway and Sweden, the daughter company, Bavaria, is the largest dealer of BMW and MINI in Scandinavia. The Bavaria brand stands for quality and lives up to its vision of being surprisingly different and noticeably better.
- We are pleased to expand our dealership footprint to Switzerland and to increase our long-standing, strong partnership with BMW, says Stig Saeveland, chief executive officer of Hedin Automotive Norway.
Interim Country Manager
Marcus Larsson, Chief Operating Officer of Anders Hedin Invest, has been appointed interim Country Manager for the newly established company Hedin Automotive AG. Larsson, a seasoned executive with a diverse background, will focus on the important task of integrating the new dealerships in Hedin to ensure results, profitability and customer value.
The expansion to Switzerland marks an important milestone for Hedin and strengthens the company's position in Europe.
